I have ZERO appetite.
Cough, sneeze, sniffle, sob.

About Me
- moonrat
- I'm a recovering editorial assistant. I'm like most of my kind: impoverished coffee-and-gin survivalists, underpaid but ambitious, bitter but hopeful. Painfully self-conscious, woefully self-congratulatory, willfully self-indulgent. Yes, I'm white, but I'm trying to get over it. Accurate spelling (to the dismay of my boss) is not among my interests. So read forgivingly.

feel better soon!
oh, wow! you MUST be sick! (food = love; just FYI)
so here's a[n imaginary, sorry!] cherry pie for you.
feel better!
I hear ya. I've been sick since November. Thanks, third graders.
Not even for SUSHI??? Booooooo!
Feel better soon!
Oh you poor thing!
Sending you "feel better" vibes!
Ah Moon Rat, that cough sounds really bad. :( I think you should stay in bed & get spoilt with some T.L.C.
Hope you feel better soon!
Feel better.
My daughter had the same symptom. She was away playing basketball at a four day tournament and came home saying she barely ate and wasn't hungry. I said, "Uh-oh."
oh no! i was right! it IS that bad!
oh no! make some of that rattie soup that you like so much.... or make mr. rat get you some soup dumplings. drink tea. and NO mojitos.
Poor you! Feel better soon.
I had four days of no appetite with a virus, not last year but the year before. So I sympathise. The cat put on weight sitting around wondering why I never got out of bed any more!
Awwww... *hugs* Get better soon!
So sorry you're not feeling well! TIme to curl up in bed with a cup of hot tea and a good book...
Feel better soon!
Poor Moonie! Here, have some virtual chicken soup.
Awwww. You sound awful. Hope you feel better soon!
awww, feel better missy :)
Aww, feel better!
Here I am to make my first comment and you are sick! Feel better, and I wish you much ginger ale, chicken soup, and orange juice.
Blech, totally poopy!! Anyone ever tried editing with a headcold?!
WSA, you DO exist!! Ha. That was a funny moment in my life.
Oh, are you a big foodie like me? The only things that make me lose my appetite are 1) severe illness of a particular kind, and 2) really, really intense anxiety/nervousness. Usually regarding my love life.
Hope you get your munchies back soon!
A friend of mine constantly recommends chicken soup with a generous helping of cayenne pepper. I don't know if it works, but he's rarely sick.
I'd give you virtual soup, but I'd feel terrible if you came down with a computer virus...
I just made some chicken soup. It's very nice for a cold.
Dadrat
Soon well, get you.
Hope you're better soon!
That's when I know I'm sick as well. Hope you feel better soon.
There's nothing worse than being off your food. It rules out any sort of comfort eating to lift your spirits.
The one consolation is that when you're feeling better, you may indulge yourself in your favest of favourites, safe in the knowledge that none of the usual Calorie Crabs will dare to peck their snippers at your midriff.
Ulysses: computer virus! teehee.
Dad: YOUR soup is of NO help to ME, since you are several hundred miles away. Unless you UPS it, maybe.
Are you still sick? Poor you...
Feel better soon so you can eat again!
Ginger root tea. It makes you warm all over.
I hope you are feeling better. I am not saying this just because I really enjoy your blogs ;-)
Hope you're better soon!
Oh no Moonie!! Feel better soon. The cake and pastry eating community isn't the same without you!
I'm so sorry, Moonie.
I think I've caught it too, now. It sucks.
Hope you feel better.
How much weight did you lose? The good news is, you'll have a few days of eating like a pig. (No offense to the dancing one who frequents this place.)
;-)
